Ok, so we are going on vacation tomorrow for almost a week, so the answer to the question of the day (see earlier posts, "MOM!? WHAT'S FOR DINNER?") is: FRIDGE NIGHT! yay! whoo-hoo! (cue chirping crickets)...
Yes, I CAN resist the urge to go eat a $12 burrito at La Parilla! I can do it! Really though, we MUST do it, but it doesn't help that it is Friday night, sigh. I have already stated that I have a leftover-resistant husband, he is quickly turning most of our kids into leftover-resistant kids as well. Fun times! I must have enough leftover food in my fridge to feed China for a week. There is something very sinful about throwing food away, so I just don't do it. Of course, it is ok to let food sit in the fridge for 2 weeks, get gross and THEN throw it away. At least then I know I tried.
So, tonight, we will line our counter with every tupperware container we own that is filled with half portions of last week's dinner and let the kids have chili and broccoli together, or macaroni and cheese with that leftover piece of chicken. Sometimes the kids love it, like when we DO get to go out and bring home the stuff we couldn't finish: the 1/2 hamburger and fries from Chilis, the last taco from La Parilla, the 10 bites of salad from Ted's. But mostly, fridge night gets met with groans and eye-rolls and the kids end up eating Chef-Boyardee. (Supermom? That's me!)
So, I'm goin' in! Tonight will be fridge night! Unless of course we are weak and end up going out, but I'd really like to think I can make it through. Even if we do end up eating cereal. Tomorrow is another day, another meal...Kit
